They won't be hiring anybody else I suspect. Imagine you're the company that acquired GB, you're already looking to cut costs and streamline revenue (ads and subs). If Abby/Ben didn't quit, they were probably on the chopping block anyway (and may have been given the out and a severance package). This is extremely common with acquisitions
That being said, I don't think they need to hire anybody. They probably won't have a studio in NY so GBEast content will be more like what it was when Alex and Patrick were making content remotely
FF7R has been getting consistantly robbed in these deliberations, particularly music, although Best Music is always the worst category because it's so subjective and everyone has a different idea of what is good
God DAMN are this year's deliberations a million times better without Abby. I could just imagine her trying to shoehorn in The Sims/Fortnite into every category because "they have cohesion". You can't have someone editorializing on a video game website that literally never plays anything besides the most casual and well played games out there.
